Even with the best kitchen knives, it can still be tricky to cut bread into clean, uniform slices. If you’ve ever thought, “There’s got to be a better way to do this,” we’ve got good news for you; there is a better option. Yes, bread slicers exist, and we aren’t just talking about those guillotines that effortlessly slide through even the most dense of bagels. No, these are bread slicers that’ll transform the way you work your bread knife through a store-bought or homemade bread loaf.
Bread slicers are often built with tough wood and equally spaced slots — wide enough for a bread knife — that’ll guarantee identical bread slices. So, whether you’re prepping large batches of French toast or grilled cheese sandwiches or you need a bevy of equal-size bread slices (we get it, symmetry is important), this simple bread machine is sure to do the trick.
Below are some of our favorite bread slicers, which you can buy right now to make slicing bread painless and satisfying. These handy kitchen gadgets can also make fun holiday gifts for the bread lover in your life or the person who has everything.
This bread slicer is split into two parts: a wooden box topped with slats to catch bread crumbs, and acrylic sliding guides drilled into the wood to ease your experience while cutting bread. The sliding guides ensure even slices as you pass your serrated knife through the slits. Once you’re done, you can easily dump out the mix of bread crumbs and other mess and start on your favorite sandwiches.
Built to look like a small table, this smart bread slicer on Etsy doubles as a display tray and a solid tool for slicing bread into thick slices. Keep in mind, it will only really work with baguettes and other skinny breads, as it’s narrow and long. To get started, slide your bread loaf into the tray and cut slices through the slot for your bread knife at the tip of the tray.
Built in the Pacific Northwest, this bread slicer will make cutting bread very easy. The slicer has a wide cutting surface, allowing you to place bigger loaves of bread. It even folds up easily — to a height of 1.5 inches — so this bread machine can be stored away when not in use. To slice bread effectively, rotate the knife guides to the upright position, insert the bread into the cavernous space and guide your bread knives through the slots.
Worry not about the fine bread crumbs or bits that fall off the crust and fly across the counter with this bread slicer. Kitchen Seven’s well-built bread slicer deposits crumbs into an easy-to-clean tray. The entire appliance is carved out of bamboo, fitted with slots that allow you to adjust the thickness of your bread slices. You can even store your blade in an indent that’s built into the base under the cutting board.
